Club Cornich, New York City Feb-77

Curator: Larry Fink's striking photograph, "Club Cornich, New York City," captures an intimate moment. The lack of dating information keeps it somewhat enigmatic. Editor: I am immediately drawn to the dramatic contrast. The light falls across the woman's bare shoulder and the man's hand, making the rest of the image dissolve into shadow. Curator: Fink's work often explores social boundaries and class dynamics. This image is no exception; the photograph gives the impression of a world of wealth. Editor: Agreed. The composition is brilliant—the curve of the shoulder mirroring the curve of the chair, creating a visual rhythm. But it raises questions: Is this romance or power dynamics at play? Curator: He often photographs social elites. It's crucial to remember Fink’s background and the historical context of portraying such moments in New York's club scene. He is an outsider looking in. Editor: A brilliant, unsettling glimpse. Curator: Precisely; it is a compelling study, nonetheless.
